Take these MATH WHEELS for a spin!

Hey, math teachers, have you found that it can be tough to get students excited about taking notes in math class? I have an easy solution for you! You can use math wheels for guided notes and for practice! Math wheels are graphic organizers that add structure to notes but at the same time add visuals and color, which helps students engage with the content and retain concepts more successfully. Students can add these one-page note sheets to their notebooks to refer to all year. And you can even use the math wheels as anchor charts in your classroom! From fractions to decimals to algebraic equations to divisibility and even test-taking strategies, you can easily find a wheel for your current math topic…or even for a few language arts topics!
